Learning Opportunity: A Look Inside the Success of Dr. A’s Garden

By AmericanHort|November 4, 2026

The next tHRIve webinar from AmericanHort’s Horticultural Research Institute takes place on Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2026, at 1 p.m. (EST) and will focus on transforming rough and unworked landscapes into welcoming gardens. The presentation, titled “From Chaos to Contentment: The Making of a Garden,” will be led by Greenhouse Grower® Magazine‘s own Dr. Allan Armitage.

Dr. A and his wife Susan had limited funds but dreamed of finding a home in town. They chose a very affordable home in a wonderful neighborhood in Athens, GA, but soon discovered that the house needed significant work, including its lack of a garden. This webinar will see Dr. A share his journey of making something out of nothing, from absolute chaos to a place of relative contentment, transforming a place no one wanted to visit into a welcoming garden that now hosts visitors almost every week. Dr. Armitage will walk attendees through the plant choices that helped bring his small yard to life, including the trees, shrubs, climbers, perennials, annuals, and grasses that now thrive there.
